Introduction
On June 1, 2016, the FAA and EASA released Maintenance Annex Guidance, Change 6 (“MAG 6”). The MAG details EASA, FAA, and applicant actions required to be taken in order for an FAA-certificated 14 CFR part 145 repair station located in the U.S. to be approved to EASA Part-145; and for an EU member state, EASA Part-145 Approved Maintenance Organization to be approved to 14 CFR part 145, in accordance with the Agreement between the United States of America and the European Community on Cooperation in the Regulation of Civil Aviation Safety.
This training course provides a detailed overview of relevant parts of 14 CFR Part 145 Repair Stations, 14 CFR Part 43 Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, And Alteration and MAG-6 Section C Certification Process for EU-based EASA Part 145 Approved Maintenance Organizations to obtain a 14 CFR Part 145 Repair Station certificate.
In addition, the training includes relevant guidance material and policy contained in FAA Advisory Circulars, and FAA Orders to promote the delegate’s understanding of the FAA regulatory structure, airworthiness requirements for U.S. registered products, and relevant maintenance principles.
Understanding the regulations driving the 145 processes enables you to make the best business decisions and ensure compliance.
